Opening Celebration: The Art of AKIRA

Tuesday, February 5, 2013

One of the ToonSeum’s most popular exhibitions returns with new additions to allow for a closer look at one of the most influential animated works of the 20th century.

The Art of Akira Returns opens in conjunction with Pitt University's Anime Festival with a special ticketed VIP opening event screening of Akira and guest presenter, Joe Peacock, at 7pm. The Toonseum is open Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursday, Sunday from 10-3 and Friday and Saturdays from 10-5

Space is limited. Tickets are $5, be sure to purchase them ahead of time.

While this group is under new top-level management, the basic ideas and goals have not changed. This is a place for crafters to hook up, meetup, and discuss all sorts of crafting, and what's going on in crafts -- specifically in the Pittsburgh Area. Even that is a HUGE area to cover, so feel free to form smaller groups within this, for north, south, east, west, whatever craft nights. It's all UP TO YOU!!

PUGDOG'S Rock and Beadshop is sponsoring this group now, and you can find specific information about them in their links, pages, and events listings. They also have a space that is available for crafters of all sorts, and a lot of experience to help you along the way.

Shayna's Original Welcome Message, Nothing has changed!

Looking to meet, greet, and unite with other fellow crafty people out there. I'm relatively new to the craft world, but I find it very exciting and a lot of fun to do. While I, myself am located in the Brookline area, I am looking for some crafters, artists, crocheters, and creative individuals from anywhere in Pittbsburgh looking to create, share, and combine ideas! We can meet in public places (coffee shops, libraries, etc.) or if things really get rolling as we get comfortable with each other, also at each other's homes. This is meant to be a free-for-all, anything goes group where we can share our ideas and possibly have a different focus/theme for each meeting. Interested? Please join and send in your ideas! :)
